List three ways in which “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” is different from “The Lord of the Flies”.

Some of the differences between both works are as follows:

A)

The former was first published as an American Television Series;

The latter was first written as a book in 1954 and since then has been remade into a movie in 1963 and in 1990

B) Thematically, the two are different.

"The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" is an "Alien Invasion" movie which starts in summer. The backdrop typified a barbecue and the bell of an ice cream vendor with children playing and adults conversing. But this changes with deafening noise and a flash of light as the Saturday afternoon winds to an end. The strange occurrence is dismissed as a meteorite activity. But it was the arrival of the monsters.

"The Lord of the Flies" on the other hand had a theme which bothers on the variances between conventionality and individuality, the tension between good and bad, and examines how humans struggle between emotional and rational decisions and reactions.

C)

"The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" was written by an American writer - Rod Serling while "The Lord of the Flies" was written by a British novelist - Sir William Gerald Golding.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
